Plump cheeks make little kids look extremely adorable, but the effect is not the same on adults. People often have their health judged by their cheeks, as the latter is often referenced to gauge weight.

Losing weight from your cheeks is possible by making some adjustments to your daily diet, cardiovascular exercise, lifting weights and performing some simple cheek exercises.

Eat healthy

It is important to ensure that your daily diet comprises of food that has a high nutritional value. Such food does not only help you in growth, but also plays a key role in keeping you fit instead of depositing unnecessary fat deposits in different parts of your body, including your cheeks. Give preference to food such as fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, fish, nuts, beans and seeds.

Removed bad food from your diet

Foods that are deep-fried, refined, processed, or has a high amount of saturated fat may taste good, but they are the biggest enemy of people who are looking to shed some pounds off their body. Your physician may have advised you again them many times, but if you have been ignoring his word until now, it is time to become a bit more obedient. Avoid junk food, fast food, cookies, candy, doughnuts, fizzy drinks, alcohol and pastries as much as you possibly can.

Drink plenty of water

Drinking lots of water is extremely important because of the many benefits that it provides for your body. It not only serves to keep you hydrated, but also helps in burning calories, metabolising the by-products of fat and removing impurities from your body.

Do cardiovascular exercise

Activities such as brisk walk, jogging, climbing, riding a bike, etc. all serve to increase the metabolism of your body as they demand extra energy from your body. This increased demand for energy is met by burning calories and stored fats. Your heart rate also increases, which improves the metabolism even more.

Lift weights

Weight lifting is an extremely effective way to lose extra fat as it speeds up metabolism. Be sure to put pressure on different muscle groups instead of simply focusing one or two.

Exercise your cheeks by sucking them in

With your lips closed, open your jaw. Now suck your cheeks in and hold them that way for a minimum of 10 seconds before releasing them. Repeat this 10-15 times. It is recommended to do them in sets of 10.

Exercise your cheeks by using air

With your lips closed, fill the back of your upper lip with air breathed in through your nose. Hold it there for 10 seconds before forcing it to your left cheek. Afterwards, transfer the air to your right cheek. Release the air and then start all over again.

Exercise your cheeks by smiling

Smile with your lips closed and then pucker your lips. Keep going back and forth for a minimum of 10 repetitions.
